It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Cool.

We’ve had hundreds of these.

But can they mass produce it?

You can buy a battery bank/portable solar storage solid state battery now, and Toyota has committed to 2025 release for their EVs, which in automotive terms, means it’s already being produced.

No affiliation, but this company made waves a few months ago with the first solid state battery for sale to consumers.

Wow, it's finally happening? I guess decades of hearing about "THE NEXT REVOLUTIONARY BATTERY" and then seeing nothing has made me increasingly skeptical.

Wait, Toyota is actually ahead on something EV-related instead of trailing behind and sabotaging the field?
